Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office said it was surprised that Vanderbilt University Medical Center informed patients about releasing the records. Skrmetti’s office added that they chose to investigate after being tipped off in the summer of 2022 “that a VUMC doctor publicly described her manipulation of medical billing codes to evade coverage limitations on gender-related treatment.”
It’s unclear if the incident that prompted the attorney general investigation is related to videos that surfaced last September by conservative commentator Matt Walsh. Those videos included footage of a medical center doctor touting that gender-affirming procedures are “huge money makers” for hospitals.Article content
The law would prohibit doctors from providing gender-affirming care to anyone under 18, including prescribing puberty blockers and hormones.

Known as “civil investigative demands,” the attorney general has sought numerous types of medical records for patients, in addition to billing and the submission of claims by the clinic to the state of Tennessee’s health plan, its Medicaid program and commercial insurers. They have also requested the names of everyone referred to the transgender clinic who at most underwent an initial office visit, without seeking further care there.
